The very serious Republican opposition

There seem to be two dominant responses to the following story:
1) ignore it
2) chastise the RNC for their hubris

Me? I think this should be THE story of the year.

The story in question?

GOP, RNC to rebrand Democrats as 'Socialists'
By ROGER SIMON, Politico
5/13/09
A member of the Republican National Committee told me Tuesday that when the RNC meets in an extraordinary special session next week, it will approve a resolution rebranding Democrats as the “Democrat Socialist Party.”

Ah, yes - tackling the really important issues!

The country is in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
We're engaged in two foreign wars, neither of which is going quite according to plan (and one of which is going just plain badly!).
The previous Administration arrogated dictatorial powers, and felt free to torture in our names.

What critical issue does the Republican party tackle?
Re-labeling the Democratic party!!!

This brilliant decision by the RNC ought to be fully exploited by every Democratic candidate - starting now, today.
DCCC & DSCC should build media campaigns around it.
